Description:
“From a high ridge, crossed just before reaching this lake [Tenaya], we had a fine view of a very prominent exceedingly grand landmark through all the region, and to which the name of Cathedral Peak has been given.” (Whitney Survey: Geology, 1865, p. 425.)
“No wonder the hills and groves were God’s first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself. The same may be said of stone temples. Yonder, to the eastward of our camp grove, stands one of Nature’s cathedrals, hewn from the living rock, almost conventional in form, about two thousand feet high, nobly adorned with spires and pinnacles, thrilling under floods of sunshine as if alive like a grove-temple, and well named ‘Cathedral’.” (Muir: My First Summer in the Sierra, 1911, p. 196.)
John Muir climbed to the topmost spire, September 7, 1869. (Muir: My First Summer in the Sierra, 1911, p. 332.)
Theodore S. Solomons describes an ascent in 1897. (S.C.B., 1901, III:3, p. 236.)
